India vs Australia: Shubman Gill registered his 2nd Test fifty at Gabba in the first session on 5th Day of the 4th Test.

The first session of the fifth day of the fourth Test between India and Australia belonged to youngster Shubman Gill. The visitors came down to bat on 5th Day Gabba surface with a score of 4/0, needing 324 more to win. The fact that Rohit Sharma, the more experienced of the two openers got out early mattered little to Shubman.
